Mogral Puthur is a small coastal village in the Kasaragod district of Kerala, known for its serene beaches and traditional fishing community. It offers a glimpse into rural Kerala life, away from the bustling tourist crowds.

Visit Mogral Puthur for its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and authentic cultural experiences. However, be aware that it's not a developed tourist destination, so expect limited amenities and infrastructure. The lack of crowds and commercialization is a major draw for those seeking tranquility.

To explore Mogral Puthur and its surroundings, plan for at least 2-3 days. The nearest airport is in Mangalore, and local buses and auto-rickshaws are the primary modes of transport within the village.

When To Visit

Best Time

24-32 degrees C

The weather is pleasant and dry, ideal for beach activities and sightseeing. The humidity is relatively low, making it comfortable for outdoor exploration.

Why Visit:

This is the best time to enjoy the beaches, explore the backwaters, and witness local festivals. The weather is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the natural beauty of the region. Birdwatching is also excellent during this period.

Tip: While this is the peak season, Mogral Puthur remains relatively uncrowded compared to other tourist destinations in Kerala. Booking accommodation in advance is still recommended.

Shoulder Season

27-35 degrees C

This period experiences the monsoon season, with heavy rainfall and high humidity. The sea can be rough, making swimming and water activities unsafe.

Why Visit:

The landscape turns lush green during the monsoon, offering a different perspective of the region's beauty. However, outdoor activities are limited, and transportation can be disrupted due to heavy rains.

Tip: Prices for accommodation may be lower, but be prepared for travel inconveniences due to the weather.

Avoid

April to May

30-38 degrees C

This is the hottest time of the year, with high temperatures and humidity. The heat can be oppressive, making it uncomfortable for outdoor activities.

Why Avoid:

The heat makes it difficult to enjoy the beaches or explore the surrounding areas. The high humidity can also be quite draining.
